Hey guys, I created a library in multiplatform in intellij. In my
settings.gradle.kts

pluginManagement {
     repositories {
         google()
         gradlePluginPortal()
         mavenCentral()
     }
     resolutionStrategy {
         eachPlugin {
             if (requested.id.namespace == "com.android") {
                 useModule("com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.2"). // How to update to latest version and what is the use of 4.1.2?
             }
         }
     }
 }
 rootProject.name = "xyz"

I commented in my code. Can someone guide how can I update my gradle version to latest and what is the use of 4.1.2 that piece of code?

I tried to remove 4.1.2 below piece of code then I am getting issue

resolutionStrategy {
     eachPlugin {
         if (requested.id.namespace == "com.android") {
             useModule("com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.2")
         }
     }
 }

Error

You shouldn't need a resolution strategy anymore. Since quite some time the Android Gradle plugins properly release the marker artifacts, so you can simply use the plugins like any other.

If I remove plugin I am getting error. Please check above error.

[Vivek Modi]

Can you please guide me @Vampire

[Vampire]

Ah, 4.1.2 still needs it. 4.2.0 started to properly publish

[Vivek Modi]

I think 7+ is latest right?

[Vampire]

I don't know, I'm not an Android developer

But could well be
